Windows beta 6

distance_maximum still gets highlighted as keyword. the docs state that it
is automatically calculated and doesn't specify that you can change it so
I'm not sure whether it should still be there or not.  Either it needs to be
removed from the kewords or added to the docs in the radiosity.

It's still there so scenes using it do not generate an error, but the
value is ignored.  

Maybe it would be good to create a warning if distance_maximum is
specified or brightness is set to 3.3 that old style radiosity settings
will not generate the expected results.
